Swedish Progressive Metal band OPETH have set HERITAGE as the title of their tenth album, due in September via ROADRUNNER RECORDS. The CD was recorded earlier this year at ATLANTIS STUDIOS (formerly METRONOME STUDIOS) in Stockholm. Jens Bogren (SOILWORK, KATATONIA, PARADISE LOST, BLOODBATH) engineered the effort while mixing duties were handled by Steven Wilson (PORCUPINE TREE). The new material has been described by the band as "good."

Per Wiberg(Keyboardist) has been relieved of his duties as a member of Swedish Progressive Metal band OPETH as part of a mutual decision with the band. Keyboard duties on upcoming tours will be handled by a musician who is already rehearsing with the band. Said musician's identity will be released at a later date.
